For Discussion: Employee Health Insurance Renewal
Klambauer stated that the broker the Village has been using for health insurance does not really handle health insurance. In order to switch brokers, the Village needs to sign a broker change form. The current coverage is set to be renewed on August 1, 2024. There was a discussion regarding the possibility of getting a one-month coverage extension so that other quotes could be obtained and reviewed. She is looking into HMO coverage to lower the premium and deductible. Public Safety
No report.
Streets & Alleys
Lundgren stated that he is still waiting for “proof” that Akino Fence submitted a claim for the damage electric service on Prairie View Lane.
Buildings, Grounds & Parks
Klambauer met with Quirk and Long regarding the park program. Everything is going well. They discussed tree board/park board member options and will continue to pursue options.

The IEPA now requires that all samples be taken from service lines that are known to be lead. “First draw” samples will be taken by the homeowners for testing. It is likely that the samples will exceed the EPA “90% lead level threshold.”
